It's really disgusting. It was a great platform for keeping in touch with long distance friends and family. If you kept your friends list trimmed to people you know, then it was actually a really fun platform. Now it's like all the worst parts of corporate internet all glommed together on a single site. I see maybe 1-2 of my actual friend's posts, and the rest is all absolute crap. Hundreds of billions of dollars wasn't enough for zuck? Nope! He just had to go and squeeze every last cent out of the site, even if it meant burning it to the ground. It's not even worth visiting anymore. I was still visiting to see my memories, but now he's slowly breaking that functionality too. Congratulations Facebook, you're awful.
